Not There Yet

by Harleyhucof

My ancestors talk about celestial dragons and snakes of fire, how they plunge from the skies into one's mind, illuminating their bodies and souls, as a path to acquire knowledge directly from the source. The truth is by nature ,pursued, and once the dragon's been invoked it is impossible to tame it. I rest my head  motionless after a long intense wave of scrutiny Moments are registered in my mind as a process of validation for my internal terminology. Fantasies became cheap thrills in a world of trickery, you call me friend by day and in the night the enemy. A lie costs nothing for those involved in recognition, conditioned to a game I no longer play. I expand, in my dream I am the dragon and the man. Those who see the truth always crave its taste, I close my eyes and feel them melting down on my face, I sacrifice my sight and swallow it like two raw eggs. From my window a falcon flies into my room and lands as a toad on my bed . It looks at me smiling as it discharges venom into my chest There are many defense mechanisms at play and i don't require complex justification to claim a unified actuality even if it risks exposing our vulnerabilities So I ask to hear the truth from the crowned ones in the sun, drunk with my interest they abide and whisper it. Simultaneously with my awareness small serpent of energy appears and start mending my lips together , the secrets will be kept , doubt kills the truth and the world is just not there yet , to believe a blind man and a mute.
